ABOUT GHANA
Ghanaian people have hearts as big as their smiles. They are vivacious and will always make you feel welcome. Ghana is one of the friendliest and easy to travel countries in West Africa. Colourful markets, palm fringed beaches, old coastal forts and Mole National Park are but a few of the highlights.
The Republic of Ghana is located on the Guinea Coast of West Africa, and is sandwiched between Togo, Cote d'Ivoire and Burkina Faso. In the south, rain is expected between April and June and again in September and October. Temperatures in the southeast range from 23°C in October to 30°C in June.
Ghana has a population of over 15 million, nearly half of whom speak Akan; the other half include speakers of Ga, Mole, Dagbani, Ewe, and Dangme. English is the official language of Ghana and is used in schools, businesses, and the Government.
